***This is a Goal Setting Workshop***

Last week we talked about motivation. And I shared how I find my motivation. I also touched on how HAVING GOALS (or something to look forward to) is essential to success.

How does one create a goal? And how do we find out what we want? This is what I did…

Step 1. Take 5 minutes to write down on a piece of paper (or computer) as many goals you can think of that you want to achieve in 3 different categories:

1. Personal development goals like: speaking fluent Spanish or learning salsa dancing
2. Acquirement goals like: getting a new car or motorcycle, owning a house or private jet 😛
3. Financial goals like: how much income per month you think you need or how much money you would like to have in your nest egg by the end of the year.

Go crazy on this and let your mind go wild, be just like a kid and think of all the stuff you want. Think big and keep writing for 5 min long for each category

Step 2. You should have at least 1 page full of stuff you wanted to have or acheive…so now choose from each category 1 goal you absolute must have or want to achieve in less than a year.

For me this was:

1. PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT GOAL: Speak fluent Spanish. (very handy in south America and some parts in Europe)
2. PERSONAL ACQUIREMENT GOAL: Start my around the world journey on my new Triple Black GS1200
3. FINANCIAL GOAL: Selling my 2 fitness studios in Bangkok to have some CA$H to fund my trip. I’ve already succeeded in this and it isn’t the end of the year yet, so my next goal is to make at least 3000USD per month with our online training business or website affiliates.

I know this works because I have already achieved most of the list above (and half the year isn’t over yet) because I was clear about what I really wanted. And I worked EVERYDAY towards my goals and take massive action!

Step 3 Create the WHY I should achieve these goals and what will happen if I don’t achieve them.

Take 5mins to write down all the good things that will happen if you achieve your goals. But then also take 5mins to write down the bad things that will happen if you don’t achieve them.

How would your life look like after 5 years or 10 years if you do nothing?

How would you feel?

How would you look? Older or Younger?

Would you be Happy or Sad?

Step 4. TAKE MASSIVE ACTION EVERYDAY!!

Make a plan and take action everyday. This is a tough one, but if you take some action, even if it’s a small one, you will get closer to your goal.

See what’s working or isn’t. If something doesn’t work, don’t give up, but do try something new and see if that works. Keep on trying so you know what works or not.

Step 5. Become a Master

Practice what works for you and do it over and over till it becomes easy and part of your second nature.

Step 6. Power of Focus

What you focus on the most, is what you will get. If you focus on the negative you will get that, even if you are focusing on NOT getting it. Focus on the POSITIVE.

Take 30mins every day to focus on your goals, go to a quite dark room, play some meditation music, relax, and take some deep breaths and when breathing out visual yourself achieving your goals. Make a movie in your head of yourself accomplishing your goals and how you would look/be if you already completed your top 3 goals.

For me, my mind-movie is about how I am already on my new motorbike, traveling the world, making money online and speaking fluent Spanish.

I do this every morning when I wake up and in the evening before I sleep. I visualize my goals which gives me massive motivation to go out there and kick butt.

Please share your goals with us and if it’s fitness/weight loss related we might able to help!

How to get motivated and what IS motivation???

Hey there,

We have been talking a lot about motivation and we’ve been giving you some workout tips, fitness tips and sharing our stories.

But what is motivation and how do we get motivated?

For me motivation is very important, it drives me, it make me want to go for something and do it. I see motivation as a desire, an energy that drives me to take action in life, in my training, in my business and it propels me to follow my dreams and achieve MY GOALS.

But that’s the thing, without any goals it’s impossible to get motivated…and I promise we will talk more about setting goals in my next blog post. Today, I will stick to my subject and talk about what motivation means to me and how I use “motivation” in my everyday life.

3 Simple Steps to Motivate Yourself Every Day Into Taking ACTION.

Step 1: First you set a goal and find the “reason” you want it and create and absolute desire to achieve this goal. For me its traveling around the world on my motorbike. My secondary personal goal is to take care of my body, be fit strong, and staying as healthy as possible. But this will differ from person to person; so this will be totally different for you, but to get “motivated” you need to find what you Absolutely Desire…

Here’s a list of some of the things I do to keep my Absolute Desire Alive:

• Every morning and evening visualize your goal, stoke the flames of your desire and see yourself already doing what you want to do.
• Write it down on a piece of paper.
• Every day I always ask myself why am I waking up and going to work. I then remember the big picture and find myself motivated…

Step 2: Then the next step is to ask yourself the right questions, questions that empower you like:

What am I happy about in my life right now?

What excites me?

What am I grateful about in my life?

What am I proud of in my life?

Who loves me and who do I love?

After answering these questions honestly to yourself, you will find yourself empowered. I usually find myself filled with excitement and power, and I’m eager to start my day!

Step 3: Laser focus on one thing at the time and have fun doing it…

Once you have a goal, make a plan and mini goals on how to achieve it!

Make a to do list and focus on the 2 most important tasks that need to be done FIRST and completely kill it and make it happen. After you complete those 2 mini-goals, then you can relax, play with your phone, and have some down time.

Remember when you were a kid? Homework first and then you could go out to play…practice that as an adult and you’ll be surprised with how much more you’ll get done.

How to make the to do list and what’s important?

Make sure everything you do will move you towards your goal. Don’t know what to do or where to start? Find people who did it and ask. Get a coach, if its fitness we can help.

Once you’ve figured out your goals then the next most important thing is to make it fun achieving those goals.

Straight up, doing something you flat out despise won’t be something you will, or can keep up with. The second you can, you will drop it like a bad habit.

For that reason, whatever you’re doing — be it saving up money for that new car or losing 15 pounds — you got to make it enjoyable. The more enjoyable it is, the more you’ll do it. The more you’ll do it, the better you’ll get at it. The better you get at it, the quicker the end result will come.

Where there’s a will, there’s a way. Do you hate jogging? No problem. Take a MuayThai class — the fat will fall off that way, too. Horrible at writing papers? Change to a topic that drives you. Can’t save money to save your life? Switch environments. Your world is yours to create — what you make of it can change your motivation (and your life) entirely.

We promised a fitness motivation post every Monday…

Monday came and went and we totally forgot…

I guess I was having one of those days where I was lazy, I knew I was supposed to post but I kept procrastinating…until I forgot.

Why? Because I had the Blogging Blues. Does that happen to you? I’m pretty sure every beginner blogger has one of those days.

I just felt “blah”…

I felt that probably no one was reading my blog…so why bother blogging???

I subconsciously wanted to QUIT..

But I kicked myself in b*tt and told myself, “Who cares if no one else is reading!”

This blog is for ME and for those of you who find it (perhaps stumble upon it) you will  find something helpful.

It’s also an online journal of sorts.

Who knows, maybe this blog will blow up one day and I’ll become an uber successful blogger. And then I’ll read this post and remember from whence I came 😛

So apologies in advance for this late post. I suppose it’s better “Late than Never” and in posting a day late, I’m proving to myself that I can commit to this blog…and that I’m NOT QUITTING!!

So here’s the post (quote) that was supposed to be for yesterday. I guess I didn’t really have anything specific to share yesterday, but today I did, and this quote is exactly what I needed to come across.

I hope it helps you like it did me.

The best part of the words above is that it can be applied to so many aspects of our lives.

Stop and think about it…

Do you agree?
